[NABS-L] NABS Facebook group?

Mon Mar 19 19:10:46 UTC 2018

Here is some points that you need to keep in mind. First of all, it's privacy concerns. For example, if a student has a profile that is public, someone that is not a student will look in the group and see the members of the group, and also, could stalk someone. I think that the Facebook group is a good idea, but IF the students hide their information on their Facebook profiles, then it will be a safer group. And also, how would the admins know that a student is trying to join the group?

Actually, if it’s at all associated with outreach or branding, which any form of social media is, then board approval is probably necessary. The board may also want to be the admins if this is approved. I would strongly suggest asking them before immediately jumping to do this. Lots of energy and innovation are good but it’s generally important to ensure proper communication first. I would know—I’m bad at it.
